faok two the acton free press ntunsdaysertemneii eth im labor day wowo had a now oxpcrionce over the labor day weokond weve handled weekly news papers for yoars and acquired the routine and injected some monthly publications jn our sched ule last wook the office staff undertook to pub- hid i fni fo v rcvor ramblor for the first canadian rover moot held at bluo springs scout reserve whore more than 500 rovor scouts from all parts of canada the united stalos and cuba were assembled on top of jhe regular office work it was quite an added chore v copy started to come in shortly after seven oclock each ovoning and the rover ramblor was in the hands of tho campors early next morning intact the copios went into camp the last two mornings at five am it was an inter esting exporlonco but not one that could be maintained for any length of time without the addition of a night shift to especially handle the daily section if we should err more than usual this week we thought it best to give this explanation by way of reasoning labor day had a real signifi cance for the staff this year and it wasnt of holi day import off to school the younger generation ore at school now othey have been packed off to classrooms after their annual summor vacation to most of them it is just o new experience in a new classroom with perhaps a different toucher but parents no doubt hold the event in a different light the children are growing up and at the same time they are preparing themselves for a future a future in one of the youngest and fastest growing countries of the world where futures are generally called bright education is a long term process and not one that can be expected to show its entire produce immediately the eager mothers question of what did you learn at school today and the childs reply can never paint or draw out the complete answer education is an evolution a constant broad ening process children-grow- intojhejdeas-flnd- routines carried out at school that are latertrans milted into a moremalyrelife ljs not neces sarily the facts learned in the schoolroom process that provide the greatest benefit it might easily be that arithmetic is a difficult subject for the ycung student but an eventual understanding of its importance makes it seem a necessary subject and the determination gained in its mastering is one of the subject byproducts in educations evolution when you send your children to school each day and they eventually escape its confines at 4 oclock they may nbt be able to tell you what theh pd h benefitted them in some small way at least now for the faji fairs with the closing this week of the canadian nationalexhibition the great season of the rural fall fairs is ushered in it might be well to re mind many that without the rural fairs such na tional events as the cne and the royflf winter fair would not be possible thefairs jihich now hold sway are the places wherenre exhibitors are trained where incentive and confidence are oained rural fairs too have a phase which is not fcund in the larger fairsthai of a meeting place for old friends the big fairs have become so large that meeting even by appointment is often difficult the smaller fairs provide a leisure and a smaller place for meeting acquaint ances which nooiher community attraction can provide definitely the fall fairs occupy a uni que place in the life of town and country and a common meeting ground that is very essential to our community life your community fair in acton will be held this month in fact in a few weeks the prize lists are now available upon application to the secretary jo make it a success requires the co operation of exhibitors and friends plan now to make your entries and have a show that is indicative of this fine agricultural district make arrangements to meet your friends at acton fair on september 21st and 22nd make it bigger and better in every way from every section come reports of the greatest harvest canada has ever experienced thanksgiving day which comes this year on october 8th will be a real day of thanksgiving for the bounty that has boon bestowed a national event seems too bad when toronto is playing host to so many visitors at tho canadian national exhibition that four lanes of travel are reserved on the ldkeshore boulevard for city traffic and only two lanes allotted to cne visitors then ftlhhepbrktngpconeiottltti de-has- been lost to the exhibition which has a gigantic problem on its hands looking onis an outsider it does soom that toronto could bo more tolerant for two weeks when so many from a great dis tance congregate to see a national event ajjothor suggestion which might prove popu lar judging from crowds before tho bandshell at the cne would bo tho presentation of some strictly band concerts every year some fuac bands come to jhe cne who are a cross be tween a symphony orchestra and a band why not have the toronto symphony orchestra take over the orchestral duties and a band give pro grams of strictly band music and some good- stirring marches to our thinking the mongrel musical port rayals of the present do little to please either the lovers of orchestral or band music frankly we enjoy the band concerts from the north band stand very muchrexcept when they attempt to imitate the main bandshell the star concerts of diversified programs which present canadian artists are in popularity judging by the crowds we think popularity judging by thecne deserves credit for its effort to serve alltastes and we offer our criticisms in a friendly way too effective a drop of not less than 45 in housing starts in july just reported may well bring the first dent in ottawas light fiscal control program according to the financial post also reported was a 63 decrease in the same month in loans under nha together they indicate the speed with which the housing program is grinding to a stop under the brake ol money controls july figures cannot help but increase already heavy pressure being put on ottawa to ease up howeverinotheraffectedaraes cigarettos- consumer durablesand despite the whopping 340 milliontrade deficit in the first six months ottawa still seems determined to hold the line the exact extent of the housing sag becomes apparent against previous statistics the 41 5 drop is for communities of 5000 and over in may and june starts were off 23 earlier in the yearbefore restnetionsthey were up 19 over 1950 over a sevenmonth period iheyre down 185 despite this spectacular slump actual com pletions tms year will be high due to the big 1950 backlog but what is causingconcern is the effect erftodays slumponv952r editorial notes were just like the city and have our street repairs in full swing for exhibitiononly we have aims of having our own town all ready for our own fair highway travel gets heavier and there is more need for extra precautions in your driving habits you need a constant alertness to the other drivers failures nice to note that at last some definite pro gress has been made on county equalized assess ments surely after five years work in preparat ion of the figures nothing can be gained by an appeal court if such
